Chapter 551 A Different Plot
"Perhaps Daoist Yuan misunderstood it." Li Chunfeng said.
Yuan Tiangang smiled lightly and said, "Maybe."
He knew that Li Chunfeng didn't believe in the theory of physiognomy, so he didn't continue to say more about it.
……
"See Your Majesty."
Lin Xuan really didn't know why Li Shimin wanted him here. He and Li Lizhi's wedding is coming soon. Although the wedding is prepared by the Ministry of Rituals and does not require the Lin family to do anything, but after marriage, Li Lizhi will live in the Lin family, so he still needs to make some preparations of.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "The emissary before Fusang encountered assassins after boarding the ship at Dengzhou Port, and most of them died. You should know about this, right?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I have heard about it."
Fusang people die as soon as they die, so it doesn't matter to him, anyway, he doesn't like Fusang people either.
Wait, Li Shimin called him, you don't think he did it, do you?
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. When I left Chang'an, they were still in Chang'an." Lin Xuan said hastily.
Li Shimin said: "Of course I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, this matter was done by the Wang family."
"Then why is Your Majesty looking for the minister this time?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Fusang sent people again, saying that if I allow them to send Tang envoys to study in Tang Dynasty, they will not pursue this matter." Li Shimin said.
In fact, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to Fusang Kingdom, otherwise he wouldn't just come to discuss with Lin Xuan.
He called Lin Xuan here, just to hear Lin Xuan's opinion.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot agree to them. Is it possible that Fusang still dares to send troops to attack Datang?" Lin Xuan said disdainfully.
No, with the character of the Fusang people, if they don't make it right, they really dare.
After all, the Battle of Baijiangkou happened in history.
Although it was because Baekje's survivors asked Fusang for help, the people of Fusang knew that the enemy of Baekje was Datang, and they still sent troops to support it. It can be seen that Emperor Fusang at that time was not too afraid of Datang.
Based on this incident alone, Fusang may not necessarily mobilize troops against Datang, but in addition to Datang's refusal of Fusang's condemnation envoy to come to Datang to study, Fusang may really mobilize troops against Datang.
"Fusang is just a small country, so I'm not afraid of it. It's just that the grasslands are still uncertain, so I don't want to cause trouble." Li Shimin said.
What he meant was to agree first. Anyway, it took Fusang to come and go to Datang, and it took a lot of time.
A few months have passed by the time Fusang sent Tang envoys to Datang, and it will be a while until the grasslands are calmed down, and there will be plenty of time to clean up Fusang.
"Your Majesty, do you know what Fusang's King's name is?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lin Xuan naturally knew what Li Shimin was thinking, but Lin Xuan didn't want to do it.
Pretending to compromise is also a compromise. Even if it is fake, Lin Xuan can't accept compromising with Fusang.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously, wondering what he was playing dumb.
"Your Majesty, the lord of Fuso is called the Emperor."
"What! The ruler of a small barbarian country dares to call himself emperor?"
Li Shimin exploded immediately after hearing this. He called himself the emperor, but the other party dared to call him the emperor.
Although it was just a title, it was intolerable to Li Shimin.
"How did you know about this?" Li Shimin was not overwhelmed by anger, and looked at Lin Xuan suspiciously.
The lord of Fusang is known as the emperor, and even he has not heard of this matter, which shows that Fusang deliberately concealed it.
He has always been curious. As far as he knows, Lin Xuan has never been to Fusang, but he seems to know Fusang very well.
And judging from Lin Xuan's attitude towards Fusang, Lin Xuan seems to have a grudge against Fusang.
He had some doubts whether Lin Xuan was fooling him.
"Your Majesty, if what I said is true or not, Your Majesty will find out if you summon the envoy from Fusang to have a try." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin took a deep look at Lin Xuan, and said to Li Mu: "Tell Fusang envoy."
"Yes." Li Mu responded and exited.
Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan and said, "In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "When Your Majesty finds out, you can pretend to be angry and drive the Fusang envoy away."
Li Shimin nodded, this is a good idea.
It's not that he was afraid of Fusang, it's just that Datang was wronged after all, and if it spread, it would be bad for Datang's reputation.
"Your Majesty, the people of Fusang are arrogant and arrogant. They might use this matter to attack Datang. We have to guard against it." Lin Xuan reminded.
"Heh~, Fusang dares to use troops against Datang?" Li Shimin seemed to have heard some big joke.
It's not that Li Shimin is conceited, but Fusang has always been respectful to the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty connected with the Central Plains. In the past, even when their king was changed, they had to go to the Central Plains Dynasty to request canonization.
Li Shimin naturally did not believe that Fusang would send troops to Datang.
It's normal for Li Shimin to have this kind of thinking. Fusang fought against Datang during the Tang Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty.
However, when the world was in chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Fusang also had frequent battles. Many defeated princes organized warriors and ronin to plunder the coastal areas.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the coastal residents from colluding with Japanese pirates, he implemented a sea ban.
In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates brought endless trauma to the Ming Dynasty.
From the initial "suppression of Japanese" to the later "anti-Japanese", the harm of Japanese pirates can be seen.
Later, Fusang committed heinous crimes on the land of the Central Plains.
Fusang people are full of wolf nature in their bones.
However, no one realizes it yet.
But Lin Xuan knew the wolf nature of Fusang people.
Fusang really developed because of the technology learned in the Tang Dynasty.
In a sense, the rampant Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were, in the final analysis, caused by Li Shimin.
Lin Xuan didn't dare to say that he could change the dynasty in the future, but he wanted to try to restrict Fusang.
"Your Majesty, although Fusang is a small country, if they use troops against Datang, they will come from the sea. Datang does not have an organized navy. If Fusang sends troops to plunder the coast of Datang, how will they resist?" Lin Xuan said.
"You mean to let me form a navy?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, if we form a navy, we can not only defend against Fusang, but also prepare for attacking Fusang in the future."
His main purpose is to prepare for the future attack on Fusang.
With Fusang's current technology, it is no problem for Datang to destroy Fusang.
Datang has existed for more than 200 years, and it has only been a dozen years since the founding of the country. Even if the original historical development is followed, Datang still has a lifespan of about 250 years.
If Fusang is now occupied and immigrated there, after 200 years, Fusang would have disappeared in the long river of history.
"Building a navy is too expensive." Li Shimin shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, build a navy. When attacking Goguryeo, you can send a surprise army to go straight into the hinterland of Goguryeo from the sea." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and beating Goguryeo had become his obsession.
Anyone who knows the history of the Zhenguan period knows that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he fought so many battles. Only when he was fighting Goguryeo, Li Shimin chose to conquer in person.
You must know that the emperor's personal conquest requires not only courage, but it is very difficult to persuade the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
Even so, Li Shimin still resisted all opinions and marched in person. It can be seen that he had a different plot in his conquest of Goguryeo.
Lin Xuan believed that Li Shimin would definitely agree with what he said.
